February 9, 2018 Marubeni Corporation Niigata Transys Co., Ltd February 9, 2018 Marubeni Corporation Niigata Transys Co., Ltd. Republic of the Union of Myanmar Yangon–Mandalay Railway Improvement Project Award for Procurement of Diesel Electric Multiple Unit Marubeni Corporation (hereinafter, “Marubeni”) and one of the group companies of IHI Corporation, Niigata Transys Co., Ltd. (hereinafter, “NTS”), have been chosen by Myanmar Railways to procure 24 cars of Diesel Electric Multiple Unit (hereinafter, “DEMU”)* for the “Yangon-Mandalay Improvement Project Phase I” (the procurement of these cars will hereinafter be referred to as, “The Project”). The contract for The Project, which is valued at approximately 7 billion Japanese Yen, was signed by Marubeni, NTS and Myanmar Railways on February 9, 2018. Marubeni, as consortium leader, will be in charge of overall commercial issues while NTS will be responsible for such aspects as design, manufacturing, testing and training as those things pertain to DEMU. The Project is one part of the “Yangon-Mandalay Improvement Project Phase I” (a project to improve and modernize the aged systems on the existing railway line between Yangon and Mandalay) which has thus far been financed by an international Yen loan of 45 billion Japanese Yen via the Japanese Government. Moreover, the first exportation of Japanese made products for the “Yangon-Mandalay Improvement Project Phase I” will fall under the scope of The Project. The 24 DEMU cars which will be procured as part of The Project will depart from Yangon, the biggest commercial city in Myanmar, and run through the capital city of Naypyidaw, to Taungoo in the middle of Yangon where Mandalay, the 2nd biggest commercial city in Myanmar, is located. The distance between Yangon and Taungoo is approximately 267km, and currently takes about 7 hours to traverse. However, The Project will drastically shorten this traveling time to around 3 hours and 20 minutes. The Project is to mitigate traffic problems and contribute to Myanmar’s socioeconomic development by relieving the stress taken on by the people of Myanmar as a result of the current transportation system. In 1942, Marubeni established a branch office in Myanmar, and has since been continuously expanding its business endeavors in a variety of industries like agri-input, foods, transport, aircrafts and especially infrastructure projects in such fields as railways and power plants. In recent years, Marubeni has been involved in business projects like the development of industrial complexes in Thilawa special economic zone, and renovation works on a combined cycle power plant located in the Thaketa district of Yangon City. Through the utilization of numerous experiences and achievements like these, Marubeni continues to contribute to the development of Myanmar’s infrastructure and economy. As a leading manufacturer of diesel trains in Japan, NTS has vast experience in making trains like the DEMU that will be used in The Project; manufacturing Light Rail Transit Vehicles and snowplows in Japan and overseas. Moreover, NTS has impressive records of achievement in Asia by providing new transit systems which is known as Automated People Mover. NTS continues to seek out business opportunities in Asia, including in Myanmar, and continue to contribute to the economic growth of all countries through transportation and infrastructure projects. *Diesel Electric Multiple Unit A type of train that is powered by diesel engine generated electricity.

  • AROUND MANDALAY You Cansnoopaboutpottery Factories
    © Lonely Planet Publications 276 Around Mandalay What puts Mandalay on most travellers’ maps looms outside its doors – former capitals with battered stupas and palace walls lost in palm-rimmed rice fields where locals scoot by in slow-moving horse carts. Most of it is easy day-trip potential. In Amarapura, for-hire rowboats drift by a three-quarter-mile teak-pole bridge used by hundreds of monks and fishers carrying their day’s catch home. At the canal-made island capital of Inwa (Ava), a flatbed ferry then a horse cart leads visitors to a handful of ancient sites surrounded by village life. In Mingun – a boat ride up the Ayeyarwady (Irrawaddy) from Mandalay – steps lead up a battered stupa more massive than any other…and yet only a AROUND MANDALAY third finished. At one of Myanmar’s most religious destinations, Sagaing’s temple-studded hills offer room to explore, space to meditate and views of the Ayeyarwady. Further out of town, northwest of Mandalay in Sagaing District, are a couple of towns – real ones, the kind where wide-eyed locals sometimes slip into approving laughter at your mere presence – that require overnight stays. Four hours west of Mandalay, Monywa is near a carnivalesque pagoda and hundreds of cave temples carved from a buddha-shaped moun- tain; further east, Shwebo is further off the travelways, a stupa-filled town where Myanmar’s last dynasty kicked off; nearby is Kyaukmyaung, a riverside town devoted to pottery, where you can snoop about pottery factories.

The successful planning and implementation of the census activities, followed by the timely release of the provisional results in August 2014 and now the main results in May 2015, is a clear testimony of the Government’s resolve to publish all information collected from respondents in accordance with the Population and Housing Census Law No. 19 of 2013. It is now my hope that the main results both Union and each of the State and Region reports will be interpreted correctly and will effectively inform the planning and decision-making processes in our quest for national and sub-national development. The census structures put in place, including the Central Census Commission, Census Committees and officers at the State/Region, District and Township levels and the International Technical Advisory Board (ITAB), a group of 15 experts from different countries and institutions involved in censuses and statistics internationally, provided the requisite administrative and technical inputs for the implementation of the census.

  • Endgame in Burma 349
    Endgame in Burma 349 Chapter 10 Endgame in Burma: August 1944–15 August 1945 Introduction The dominant view is that after the Japanese defeat at Imphal and Kohima, the IJA as a potent combat instrument was finished and what followed was a mop- ping up operation by the victorious Commonwealth air-land forces. The reality was a bit more complex. The post-Imphal-Kohima period could be subdivided into three interrelated phases: the battles for Mandalay, and Meiktila and the race for Rangoon. The Japanese commanders named this struggle as the Battle of the Irrawaddy. As the British commanders prepared to pursue and defeat the retreating IJA in the aftermath of Imphal-Kohima, the former took stock of the military effectiveness of the forces at their disposal and their opponents. The first section of this chapter analyzes the combat effectiveness of the Commonwealth forces and its opponent. And the next two sections portray the nature of combat in central and south Burma. The last section, in order to put things in a global perspective, attempts an assessment of the scope and intensity of the Mandalay-Meiktila-Rangoon Campaign in comparison with the gargantuan battles of the Ostfront. Combat Effectiveness of the British and Indian Armies Williamson Murray writes that during war there is little time to understand the behaviour of the interactive, adaptive opponent. However, feedback from combat results can suggest some necessary adaptations only if the proper les- sons are identified and then learnt.1 The Commonwealth military organization attempted to initiate the above-mentioned process. In November 1944, Brigadier I.E.M.

  • Yangon's Heritage
    Yangon’s Heritage: Steps Towards Preservation Paula Z. Helfrich When I returned to live in Yangon in 2007, my sense of direction was rooted in my upbringing of the 1950s and 1960s, the bittersweet memories and epic history of those times. I knew everything and nothing – Scott Market, the English Methodist School, St. John’s, St. Mary’s Cathedral, Golden Valley, Kyaikkasan Race Course, the Union Club, Kokine Club, Park Street and the Royal Lakes, and the Rangoon Sailing Club on Victoria Lake. I was familiar with York Road, Halpin, Fraser, Prome Road, Merchant Street and a host of other Anglicized place names, but I was utterly lost in modern Yangon, until I transcribed the Strand Hotel’s antique map of downtown “Rangoon” onto a contemporary map. Finally, I had come home. More correctly, I could find homes and places I’d known, history hiding in plain sight, my favorite being the beautifully refurbished Zoological Gardens, founded in 1924. Myanmar carries the burden and blessing of one of the most romantic histories in the world, shaped by Theravada teachings, Jataka tales and Nat legends, swashbuckling Portuguese sailors and the star-crossed warrior-poet Nat Shin Aung, valiant efforts by monks, writers and students to achieve independence, the death of the Martyrs, the decades of silent national grief, the amazing new beginnings, and the age-old Buddhist principle of freedom from fear. As in most tropical cultures, there are thousands of ancient religious shrines built for the ages, but there are no ancient palaces or public halls, attributable possibly to the Buddhist view of impermanence and the devastations of World War II by three invading forces.
